Reading Book Series

room, Gentilly, France

Overview

Different scenes can be imagined by reading novels. These scenes are expressed in the Reading Book Series, which was first exhibited in 2000 at the alternative gallery, room, in France. Pieces such as architectural models and dollhouses were constructed using MDF boards and lacquer coating for color. The Reading Book Series is characterized by consisting only of simple colors that are not overstated. It furthermore captures only a single frame of time where no people or dolls exist, in return letting viewers experience a sense of reality in pieces.
